The SANbox2-64 modular fabric switch is a new class of switch that makes deploying and scaling your SAN much easier and more cost-effective. Its dense, bladed architecture allows you to easily scale from 16 ports to 64 ports in just 4U (7") of rack space. And the SANbox2-64 modular fabric switch offers redundancy and hot-swap capabilities typically found only in much more expensive Director switches.
Modular Scalability
- Add 8-port I/O blade modules only when you need them
- 640 ports in a 42U rack software included at no charge
- Compact 4U chassis saves expensive rack space
Superior Performance
- Full cross bar, non-blocking architecture
- 2Gb frame Latency: 316 ns typical, < 1000 ns worst case
Simple Management
- Single SANsurfer Management Suite for all QLogic switches and HBAs
- Graphical User Interface for point and click management
- Integrated with popular SAN Management packages from CA, IBM, McData, VERITAS and others
High Fabric Availability
- Dual redundant power supply and fan modules
- I/O StreamGuard suppresses RSCNs to reduce fabric disruptions
- Dual SANbox2-64 switches form a fabric with 99.999% availability
Low Cost Per Port
- All 64 ports in a single chassis reduces the cost of multiple switches and software licenses
- SANsurfer Management Suite™ software included at no charge
- Compact 4U chassis saves expensive rack space
Broad Interoperability
- Interoperable with fabric switches from Brocade, Cisco, McData and INRANGE
